Complementary angles add to 90 degrees
so let's say they are x and y
and x>y

x+y=90

the differenc is 14
x-y=14
neat

x-y=14
add y to both sides
x=14+y
subsitut 14+y for x in other equation

x+y=90
14+y+y=90
14+2y=90
minus 14 both sides
2y=76
divide both sides by 2
y=38
sub back


x=14+y
x=14+38
x=52


the 2 angles measure 38 degrees and 52 degrees

Complementary angles are angles that measure up to 90 degrees.

To find the measures of the two angles, divide 90 by two to say two angles of 45 degrees. Now divide 14 by 2, which you get 7 with. Now add 7 to 45 and subtract it from 45 as well, to get 52 and 38.

The measures of the angles are 52 degrees and 38 degrees.

What is the solution to the system of linear equations?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

x = 5, y = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5x - 5y = 20

3x + 4y = 13 multiply by 1.25 so the y's match up (you could match x's too)

3.75x + 5y = 16.25

–––––––––––––––––––––––

3.5x - 5y = 20

3.75x +5y = 16.25

7.25x + 0y = 36.25 you can add or subtract here (on this equation you add)

7.25x=36.25

x=5 So now we have x=5 and to find y we can just plug in x into one of the equations

–––––––––––––––––––

3(5) + 4y = 13

15 + 4y = 13

4y = -2

y = -1/2

x = 5, y = -1/2

Then you can plug in both to check your answers.

Show work, for extra Brainly, elementary work, multiplying unit fractions by whole numbers
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1 is incorrect because 1/4 x 9 is 2 1/4 not 1 1/4.

To multiply fractions, multiply directly across. So multiply 1/4 x 9/1 to get 9/4 which converted into a mixed number is 2 1/4.

Maria is making paper flowers as decorations for the fall dance. She has made 40 flowers so far, and she is 16% finished. If she
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

the number of additional she needed is 135

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

GIven that

40 flowers of 16%

So for 100% it would be

= 40 ×100 ÷ 16

= 250

Now she needs to make is

= 70% - 16%

= 54%

Now the additional would be

= 250 × 54%

= 135

Hence, the number of additional she needed is 135
